...booted out of power by the Senate (TIME, Dec. 15). Last week the Oustric case grew hotter & hotter. Clement Moret, governor of the Bank of France, testified that in 1926 as an official in the Ministry of Finance he had published a favorable report on one Oustric stock, an Italian artificial silk company known as Snia Viscosa, at the direct order of M. Peret, then Finance Minister. Later testimony showed that the then French Ambassador to Rome, Rene Besnard, had received large sums from Oustric after recommending this same company for listing on the Bourse. Andre Tardieu still remained unsullied...
...state employes from II Duce down to the humblest postman had already just been cut 12%. To offset this 43-million loss further it was announced that $15,000,000 will be lopped from the budgets of all ministries -that is, from all but the war budget. The Italian Army will cost $156,000,000 next year; the navy, $80.923,000; the air force, $40,000.000. Two days previously Signore Mussolini forewarned the Senate of the impending cut.

...little Italian steamer Artiglio, 148 ft. long, of 284 tons burden, at anchor last week near Belle He, 25 miles off the southern coast of Brittany, had an importance out of all proportion to its size as the most modern, most completely equipped salvage ship in the world. Last September the little Artiglio bobbed on front pages of the U. S. press when her grappling hooks struck the submerged wreck of the P. & O. liner Egypt, a steamer that sank off Finistere in 1922 with a loss of 92 lives, with $5,000,000 in gold and silver bullion...
With a rubber bandage around one knee, flat-nosed, beetle-browed Battling Battalino of Hartford, Conn., featherweight champion of the world, advanced crouching in Madison Square Garden toward Kid Chocolate (Eligio Sardinias), flashy Cuban Negro. With an eye for an evening's entertainment and the support of the Italian vote at the next election. Governor John Trumbull of Connecticut was at the ringside rooting for Battalino and so was Mayor Walter Batterson of Hartford. Wild and scared in the first round, feeling the hostility of the crowd which had called him "cheese champion" because he kept his title safe...
